Cannot connect to Sharepoint Online. (Is there a site collection setting required?)

Posted on by I_like_PI

We recently migrated to Sharepoint online.

I was excited at the prospect of useing flow to solve an issue that was introduced after migrating to Sharepoint online.

I was going to attempt to have an email to my outlook online account generate an item in a sharepoint list.

Individually I can log into both services rather seemlessly. But when I attempt to connect ot a list (Neither the root site nor my subsite show up in the drop) when I type in the URL it returns an auth failure.

I am trying to determin if this is something within my control or if it is a restriction we've applied on our instance.

Thanks for any help.

I don't think there really was one. This was early in the implementation and there were a lot of moving parts. In the back end both MS and is the company I work for were making modifications. I dont know if someone on my side hadn't gotten to a permissioning step or if MS fixed some kind of backend issue. I never marked it solved for the same reason you are asking, my only solution was that the next day it worked. As I hadn't contacted our support over it I am unaware of any activity on our side, but I can't discount it either.

Sorry for the limited info.
I didn't want to mark this solved because there really was no instruction on what to do and so I didn't want someone coming to this post thinking there was a TS guide to a solution.

Okay, so where is the solution? There is no information here other than it didn't work, and now it does.

Microsoft: Please post the solution

Hi I_like_PI,

Just tested, I can connect to my SharePoint online lists without any problem:

I saw some other post stating the same issue before. I think there might be some updates in the background of flow earlier that causes this issue. Please try again now.

Regards,
Mona Li

Same here. This worked yesterday. I get "Could not retrieve values. Failed to fetch: Site url"

BTW - I can't connect to Google Sheets. OneDrive Personal and others. I get "failed to fetch".
